Why Kourtney Kardashian 'Never' Uses This One Kitchen Appliance

Kourtney Kardashian runs a strict household—especially when it comes to what she’s feeding her family.

The 37-year-old mom of three, known for her super strict diet, sticks to all organic, gluten-free and dairy-free foods in her home, while staying clear of sugar and soda. Another thing she avoids? Microwaves.

“One kitchen appliance I never use is a microwave,” she writes on her app and website. “If anything needs to be heated up, I prefer to use the oven, stovetop or toaster oven instead.”

The health fanatic explains that she first enforced the rule after she had her first baby. “When I had Mason, I did a lot of health-related research and decided to get rid of my microwave when I read that toxins from plastic containers can be transferred to food when reheated (this applies to BPA-free plastic containers too),” she says.

“It only takes a few more minutes and the toaster oven heats food evenly (whereas microwaves can sometimes heat food unevenly, so some parts are scorching hot and others are cold, which is obviously a concern for babies and children),” she says.
